That's 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.920 Frank Standford. I am Greg Sousman. Joined today as we 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.760 are each and every day, four hour number two by 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:04.960 The Closer Chris Betcher. What's up, Chris? What's up? Guys? 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:09.040 How are you doing? It's your boy the Closer assist 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:13.480 his favorite sportscaster and uh, you know, I'm ready to 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.440 go right and around here to talk some sports. UM. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.119 I did want to say, I'm a little upset about 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.360 the vetted thing. Sorry, a little upset. I'm training for me. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.160 Do you have a moment of silence for his fantasy value? Um? 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.560 You know, I think that it's really not that bad. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.760 I think I would still stash him. Yeah, that's right, 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.520 and I obviously disagree as we had last hour. Okay, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.720 Rangers and Angels. We want to go next is Mike 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.080 Miner pitched a complete games shut out, three hitter walked 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.120 to strug out seven the ear and the year sits 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.679 at two point six. Oh, we just ran through Frank 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.880 the a l and how they're not very good in 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.800 general hitting wise. Mike Minor little about a second half 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.120 of last year. Rangers bring him back is our opening 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.680 day starter obviously as that prospect pedigree from a long 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:05.600 ago with the Bravos mhmm. Interested in Mike Minor, actually 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.880 recommended him as a stream on my Patreon. So if 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.320 you were if you were there and you play in 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.640 a daily transactionently you were able to pull that off 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.640 and you're you're feeling pretty good, but no, it wasn't awesome. 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.360 Start here for for Mike Minor, the underlying numbers Greg 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.000 say that he's been pretty pretty lucky. He's got two 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.400 point six zero e A his his exfit it's four 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.680 point six eight, which is interesting. Um, the batted really 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.200 low at to eleven he doesn't. He's not getting a 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.360 ton of strikeouts, just a seven K per nine. But 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.400 I think more strikeouts are gonna come from because if 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.959 you look at the swinging strike rate, he's eleven and 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.400 a half percent. It's a bubbly gaverage. It's it's up 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.520 from last year. Last season he was you know, nine 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.840 point nine percent. His first pitch strike percentage is up 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.120 as well, so he's getting more swings and mrs. Yet 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.919 his kper nine this year is down from where it 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.320 was was that last year. That doesn't necessarily add up 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.519 for me. So I think more strikeouts are coming for 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.520 Mike Minor. I saw on rootal World that a few 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.320 teams are interested in picking up Mike Minor, the Mets 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.040 and the Phillies. So if that were to happen, he 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.560 could end up in a you know, I think city 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.799 Field would be a better location to pitch than pitching 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.960 in Texas. Obviously Texas is a great hitter's ballpark. I 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:20.280 have some interest, you know, my bench picture, end of 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.440 my rotation. I just I don't think that he's a 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.359 it must add by any means. He's doing some nice 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.120 things to start the year, and I think in the 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.560 right matchup like last night against the Angels. I like 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.040 that matchup. That's fine, he's a matchup play. I don't 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.000 think he's a must add though, Okay, fair enough, Yeah, um, 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.120 it's hard not to like what he did, you know yesterday, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:45.360 complete game shutout seven k's I mean, but I'm I'm 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.640 I'm with Frankie, Like I wouldn't say, oh, we gotta 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.680 pick him up now, I mean I would like to 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.280 see still a little more because we've see you know, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.720 Minor has been around for a long time, uh and 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.480 gets injured a lot and doesn't produce on a on 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.400 a consistent level a lot, so it takes a lot 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:02.960 more for hit for us to buy back into him. 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.880 Right as a fantasy community Fastball Velocity is up for 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.280 him this season, so that is worth mentioning. And he's 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.920 using his change up more so, you know, the vl 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.560 O being up and the fact that he's changed his 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.200 his pitch usage a little bit. It has my attention, Like, 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.920 he's definitely a guy that I would pay attention to 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.120 and again matchup plays Greg, But I don't think he's 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.320 a must add. Where are you ad on on Mike Miner? 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.400 Like are you dropping Nick Pavetta right now. For Mike Miner, 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.240 probably he is. I picked my own brand here. I 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.000 picked my Miner up in the pit league, and I 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.800 was willing to drop Nick Pavetta for him, and again 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.040 I had the empty roster spot, so I didn't. All right, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.880 so you would do it, basically, That's that's what you're saying. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.680 I wouldn't, but I understand streaming him in the right match, 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.800 staying on brand. Last night was the right match for 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:46.080 the Rangers. As Drew Cabrera, he's the only two. He's 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.520 got six home runs now on the year, six home runs. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.040 The o VP is awful at two eighty three, but 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.719 six some runs you can't really ignore from a middle infielder. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.680 And you mentioned look the two eighty three o b 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.919 P compared to the two only two average. You know, 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.440 if if he's batting two fifty, then his OVP is 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.080 you know, right around three ten, three twenty. So it 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.400 wouldn't look that bad if the batting average were to 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.039 come up, and I think it will, like we have 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.560 enough of a sample size from as Drubo Cabrera. He's 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.120 a veteran player, but you know, I thought he was 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.000 sneaky during the draft season because of his position eligibility, 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.440 and he's gonna play every single day in a good 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.839 hitters environment. Look, you know there's there's a jet stream 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.520 out in right center field for for Texas Rangers hitters. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.920 And you know a dr Cabrera is a switch hitter, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.679 but most of the time he's gonna be batting lefty 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.640 because he's going against right handed pitching. And you know 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.839 there's a wind tunnel that you know, the ball just 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.040 travels out to right field and right center field for 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.840 for Texas Rangers hitters. He's in a good spot, man, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.479 And given the position versatility, you know, I don't think 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.240 he's a free agent anywhere, Greg, But if you're drafted 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.240 him late, you're obviously pleased with what you've gotten. And 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.400 I don't know if it's far off from what we're 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.120 gonna get the rest of the way. Like if as 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.720 Drubal Cabrera hits twenty five runs this year, it wouldn't 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.560 surprise me at all. Any Santana got started second base 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.640 logan foresight at first base kind of like he predicted yesterday, Frank, 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.799 they batted seven and eight in this lineup. Uh, Danny 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.800 Santana went over four, Lugan Forsyth one for two with 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.200 a walk. Elvis Entrepris moved up to the two spot. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.640 And you said it yesterday, Chris, that watch out for No. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.160 One Rossari, he's about to get hot. Uh. Mazzara was 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.440 one for four yesterday. But I believe I had an 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.120 r V I double. Yeah, that was r B I double. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.000 Uh in the first Joey Gallow has gotten a bit 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.280 hot as well. As Gallow hit his sixth home run 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.479 of the season. I know our guy Drew dig Meyer 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.240 left like to believe Joe about Joey Gallow today from 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.640 TFS as well. So Joey Gallo at three three off 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.440 the way, nice star. If you can keep that average 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:43.400 where around where it is at five love Joey Gallow 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.120 and and and that's what I was saying regarding him 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.480 throughout draft season. Now his his batting average could fluctuate 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.919 very quickly because he strikes out so much. What I 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.839 said about him was, if he can get two thirty 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.520 to forty just in that range, yep, he's he's a 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.800 top fifty hitter and right not fifty place right now, 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.600 it's a you can stay around two forty like that 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.000 you know, that's what sinks you from a roto perspective. Normally, 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.800 you you can't take on too many guys who are 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.760 gonna hit below to fifty, let alone guy who's gonna 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.680 hit around two hundred. You can't take that on in 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.840 a road a league because it just tanks your batting average. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.000 He's gotta have crazy power and so much. But again, 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.920 if he's hitting to forty and hits forty home runs, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.560 I mean that's a huge step we're talking about. You know, 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.080 forty points batting average, a huge step, and you know 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.320 it'll mean to hire o BP and you know, just 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.400 higher overall stats for him. He's even better in point seas, 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.360 averaging five point won't fantasy points in points leagues right now, 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.680 that's top elite level, your points leagues where there's no strikes, 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:44.120 there's no right. It's the case. It's extremely important to remember. Okay, yes, 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.400 I can remember that. I'm sorry. In a strike out league, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.440 I guess you're probably missing a whole point there. You know, 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.440 he's probably around four I would say three point eight. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.120 But um still listen, I was wrong about the guy. 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.440 I think that this guy I thought he wasn't gonna 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.360 be anything and was just literally gonna fold away. But 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.600 you know, if he could keep that up, it's anomaly. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.400 It's rare and baseball to see a guy that could 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.880 hit for such low average but consistently hit home runs 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.400 and produce that's pretty crazy. So you know, I'll give 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.520 kudos shout out to my boy Joey Gallo over there. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.840 Since we're talking, he's this generations Adam done. That's what 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.240 it comes. Absolutely. Since we're since we're talking about guys 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.680 that pitchers that let you down last night and didn't 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.920 let you down. You called Glass, you called Nick Pavetta before, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.720 potentially this year's John Gray, right, the fifth guy, Joe 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.000 Gray was awesome last night. Seven things of three, hit ball, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.400 one run, walk three, struck at five. It was a 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.240 person that he was facing that wasn't so good. Do 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.720 you know who that is, Frank, Yes, I do. It 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.800 was it was Nick market Vicious. Oh man, are you 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.280 dropping Nick Vicious here? Greg? Nick Vicious seven hits, five runs, 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.719 four innings, only walked one, sugout seven. Yeah, that's not bad. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:56.720 The walking k ratio seven feel pretty good for Nick Vicious. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.160 Why don't you drop Nick Pavetta for him? But right, 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:06.880 now dropped Nick Pavetta for Nick Margaret Vicius, One Nick 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.719 for another, one Nick lead to another like that John 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:16.080 Grey's performance and nick us John Gray. I thought it 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.040 was a solid performance here he had a thirteen swinging 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.880 strikes on eighty nine pitches. And look it's back to 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.040 back performances now against the Giants and the Padres, both 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.600 on the road, where he's performed very well. He's gott 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.840 a near sixty percent groundball rate. We always knew that 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.240 John Gray can put it together. And you know, thus 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.080 far through four starts is the r A is two 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.680 point four two, and his x fit is is here 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.480 as three point four two, and his expit is three 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.360 point six three. So he's right on part We've always wondered, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.320 you know, can the ARRA be around where the xfit is? 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.600 And to start the year it has been. But three 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.240 of his starts have been in Marlins Park in San 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.640 Francisco and in San Diego. Greg I am not a 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.440 John Gray guy, admittedly to me, even more so than 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.080 a guy like Tyler Glass. Now this streams, this screams 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:17.959 sell high. I'm probably selling them to Chris Ntra. I'm 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.559 I'm higher on Gray than I am Glass now, um, 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.040 before the season and now yeah, I'm still I mean, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.400 I'm a great guys. Just love Colorado guys. Man, No, 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.360 I like Gray and Marquez, and you gotta like Freeland 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:30.840 and I kind of like Freeland. I do well this 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.360 year's Colorado Rockies. Yeah, I never liked Rockies pictures in 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.120 the past. Though he's a rescue for disaster buddy. Well, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:37.560 I'm not saying have all three of them on your 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.680 fantasy team. That's probably a disaster. But um, John Gray, 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.160 I do like I've always like John Gray. I like 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.240 guys at k people, you know what I mean. Uh, 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.320 And the guy throws, you know, for the most part, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:53.200 like a guy like that, pantalizing metrics like that, you 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.800 want him on your team now, I know, yes, sell 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.319 high because he could be a radic. He could get 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.880 Sheldy's in Colorado at home. It's a bad start always, uh, 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.560 and you know, the walks might be an issue, But 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.960 I think he's growing. I think he's been in league 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.680 long enough to make a turn for the better. So 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.560 I would be quicker to sell on Glass now being 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:14.640 a more unproven player than Gray, and you know, hold Grey. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.040 But yeah, I want I want to see what kind 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.320 of trades are going on regarding revolving around John Gray. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.959 Right now, let's see this. I'm gonna look this up 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.880 on on yeahoo, let's see we got here John Gray 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:31.360 and mcgull Cabrera for Julio Tehran and Raffie Devers. Okay, 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.160 that's it doesn't really help anyone. John Gray for Byron Buckston. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.240 Look at that like the bucks inside. Yeah, I would 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:43.320 I would rather have the Oh God, greg Don Gray 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.840 for Juan so Tho, who's the clown? Who's the mouse 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.160 in the house? Who pulled this one off? Who did that? 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:51.920 I was looking at Yahoo trades. These are just trades 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.160 that are going down in Yahoo right now. Oh God 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.920 for Colorado last night and Clint Fraser for John Lester 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.600 from the hitter, from the hitter side of things, No, Narado, 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.040 homer's for the third day in a row. When I 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.160 gotta when a power hitter like him gets hot, he 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.160 just keeps rolling. Three three days, three home runs now 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.760 for Nolan Aronado, a two run shot in the first 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.240 Garrett has Hampson baby hits his first career home run, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.720 also stole his first base of the year, and it 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.880 was clear a game plan against Nick Vishus and Francisco 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.400 Mahill last night, They're gonna run wild. Trevor Story stole 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.720 three bases on the night. Garrett Hampson stole his first 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.640 base of the season. Mark Reynolds even stole a base. Clearly, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.280 they were gonna just try to run all night. They 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.559 were successful. So um, great news obviously, the own Trevor story. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.840 And hey, Garrett Hampson batting that two hole. He's got 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.600 a hit in order to stay in the line up. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:45.080 When Ryan McMann comes back, and when David Donald comes back, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.800 I'll expected to return to tomorrow potentially potentially tomorrow and 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.360 likely the weekend. He'll be back before next week. So 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.720 with all that being said, Hampson had hit in order 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.920 to stay in the lineup. He's gotten a little bit 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.920 hot as a late a modest hitting streak. Now for 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:03.240 Garrett Hampson, has he done enough, We'll see, we'll see. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.640 I mean he plays the outfield now too, So that's 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.720 guy he can and this is how they used him 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.560 in the spring. They used him in the middle infield. 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.320 You can play second, you can play short, you can 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.120 use him in the outfield. So you know he can 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:17.960 do whatever is asked of you, and he's now he's 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:22.760 he started six eight, nine games in a row. He started, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:26.480 and uh yeah he's got, he's got seven game, he's got, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.199 he's had. He had multiple hits yesterday, he had three 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.559 runs scored, He at a home run, he had a 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.000 stolen base. I think that was a breakout game for 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.360 Garrett Hampson last night. And again this is before they 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.720 even get back to Corsfield. Just five games right in Colorado. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:44.960 This far he's doing too. They're about to have four 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:50.359 games against the Phillies. Bombs too. He didn't get told 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.680 Erid is not horrible and he won't see he's horrible. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.840 Come on, it's Garrett Hampson. If you guys had to guess, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.400 what is uh his sprint speed? What percentile the league 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.120 doesn't ranking right now to start the season. Where do 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:15.200 you think garretentile, Terence Gorange, His kid is fast man 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.720 and he get hit homes, sneaky home apout, not even 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.600 in coors Field. Yet everyone's been asking is he must 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.280 add Greg? What do you say right now? And Yahoo? 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.240 So wait, we're owners of him, so it's different, right, 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.280 We're not. We're guys who were worrying about dropping him recently. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.560 I was actually thinking about dropping him possibly this week, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:35.080 saying let's see how he does this, because I might 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.760 drop him. You're Rocky's fan, right, I don't think that 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.440 Garrett Hampson's they must own And maybe that's too patient 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.800 of me. Yeah, that he's not a must I don't 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.720 think he's a must done you. I think in Rhodo 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:53.800 and categories leagues, I'm interested, man. I think in those 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.760 formats he's a must owned because for the same reason 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.080 why people were drafting him. It's you know, it's kind 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:00.960 of similar to put that obviously not the same because 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.360 Pavetta hasn't done anything and he just got sent down. 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:08.480 But you drafted these guys for their skills, their underlying skills, right, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.080 you think they can be moving forward? Right? So you know, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.160 people didn't cut beat with Garrett Hampsen and are we 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.560 gonna sit here right now and after he has his 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.400 breakout performance and say that he doesn't he's not a 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.280 mustown player and they're about to have four games in 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.840 course field against the Phillies. So I think the conversation. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.480 But I think what you're saying is very different, right, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.640 Like what you just says we drafted him hoping the 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.720 underlying numbers would come, and that's why Chris and I 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.840 held out. They're starting to come. Yeah, definitely, and that's 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.120 why Chris and I held onto him. Wouldn't you want 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.200 to pick him up before he really really starts. I 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.080 think it's going in course field. I think events who 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.040 you're dropping it for him? Like, I'm still concerned about 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.640 playing time. I know he's played nine straight games in 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.480 a row, but the big Man and Dollar coming back, 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.080 I don't know how that changes. If he's performing like this, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.240 I'm not gonna take him out of the lineup. You're 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.160 absolutely right, Okay. You know we talked about Scott Kingdom 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.640 early on. It's kind of a similar situation very much. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.000 But it's even better because in course field, so and 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.160 I think the upside is better for a guy like 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:05.479 Hampson versus Kingary. They're not completely dissimilar players, they're not. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.560 But Garrett Hampson I think has a little bit. He 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.240 has speed here. There's no doubt about its Listen here, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.320 I mean, here's a possibility right that mcmahn and Dollar 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.840 come back, it is Ian Desmond that loses his playing time. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:24.080 I was thinking that too, unless they're just playing him 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.800 because of the contract. But if they want to field 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.880 their best team and Garrett Hampson's performed, well, why why 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.320 wouldn't they start him over Ian Desmon. They might, they might, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.400 and they might platoon them kind of with Campson on 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.320 the better side of the platoon, meaning he'll actually play more. 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.320 I mean, like they'll they'll probably play left field, and 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.000 like both of them center field. Well maybe they play 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.440 centerfield center field because he had dolls in life, all right, 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.400 So then you got they'll they'll split it. But like 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.840 I think that Hampson will get more because he's earning 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.120 it now, and if he stays like this, he might 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.160 take over completely. Well, I think what you said is 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.840 probably true, Frank, And that is that was the name 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.720 I haven't mentioned, as Daniel Murphy who coming back to 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.960 at some point. That's another name in this cons agreed. 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.359 What all these names are coming back? I don't know. 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:11.359 I don't think it must when we come back. Let's 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.959 let's go through a few middle infielders and figure out 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.440 whether or not we would drop these guys. Okay, we'll 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.840 do that, and we'll hit on some other games, including 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:24.280 Christian yellows NonStop barrage against the cardinals. It's me against 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.359 Frank as wells figure out more on the way after this. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.000 Lose weight now go to fat one dot com.

E Stern on the Fantasy 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:41.320 Sports networking on your popular podcast providers, Fantasy Best Friends 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:47.800 Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Frank Stample, Chris Ventran here 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.280 hanging out. Frank, you little of these middle infields you 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.919 want to do over? Yeah, I'm taking a few questions 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.600 in the chat to a lot of people have questions 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.760 about Garrett Hampson right now? Would you drop Alex Verdugo 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.879 for Garrett Hampson? What do you Blinger, by the way, 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.280 returned to the line up today for the Dodgers. Also 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.480 in the Dodgers lineup Alex Verdugo today, so they're in 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.720 the lineup together, Greig, would you drop your Verdugo who 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:13.800 you've been stashing for Garrett Hampson? They played the positions, 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.280 so just in a vacuum. So taking a look at 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.040 this lineup, I do want to know once again, no 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.800 Justin Turner in here, who has battling ankle and hamstring soreness. 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.520 So once all the other day he kind of came 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.639 up Wayne running through first base, so he said that 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.040 he hoped to be back in the line up today. 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:34.600 He's not a day of Turner. He's always kind of 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.720 No Corey Seeger in this line of either Corey see 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.200 her out of the day all this, Chris Taylor gets 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:42.240 his day game after the night game. So Beldier is 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.720 not playing either, said is in the lineup playing playing first? 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.679
